For more advanced control and integration, the FB4 series offers network-based architecture with Ethernet, DMX, and ArtNET protocols. FB4 can be mounted inside or outside your laser projector, providing professional-grade flexibility. Built-in memory allows for stand-alone playback, so shows can run without a connected PC—perfect for fixed installs and auto-triggered events.

These systems are ideal for clubs, festivals, and professional installations that require outdoor-rated performance with zero compromise on beam quality or control fidelity.
